The.net.mask.operation.described.on.the.previous AND.function’..The.example.of.255.255.255.0.is.handy.because.the.last.octet. is.completely.zero.and.is.“clean”.for.illustrative.purposes..However,.actual.net. mask.calculations.are.carried.out,.not.on.whole.decimal.numbers,.but.bit.by.bit. on.binary.numbers,.hence.the.term.‘bit-wise’..In.a.real.local.network,.a.net.mask. might.be.255.255.255.240..Such.an.example.would.no.longer.be.quite.so.clear,. until.you.look.at.the.net.mask.in.its.binary.form: 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 In.this.case,.the.four.zeroes.at.the.end.of.the.net.mask.indicate.that.the.local. part.of.the.address.is.formed.by.only.the.last.four.bits..If.you.use.the.diagram. from.the.previous.example.and.insert.the.new.net.mask,.it.will.have.the. following.effect.on.the.final.result: Decimal octet prior to AND operation with net mask Binary equivalent of  1 1 1 0 0 0 0 Inside a bit-wise AND function When.you.“open.up”.the.last.octet.

    Calculating the mask for IP access control The.IP.access.control.function.uses.a.standard.IP.address.and.a.net.mask. The.permissible.mask.values.(for.all.octets).are.as.follows:. notation.to.specify.both.single.locations.and.ranges.of.addresses..In.order.to. Mask octet Binary Number of addresses encompassed use.this.function.correctly,.you.need.to.calculate.the.mask.so.that.it.accurately. 11111111 1 address encompasses.the.required.address(es). 11111110. 2 addresses. Single locations 11111100. 4 addresses Some.of.the.simplest.addresses.to.allow.or.deny.are.single.locations..In.this.case. 11111000. 8 addresses you.enter.the.required.IP.address.into.the.‘Network/Address’.field.and.simply. 11110000. 16 addresses enter.the.‘Mask’.as.255.255.255.255.(255 used throughout the mask means that every bit of the address will be compared and so there can only be one 11100000.
